I don't have any sets here in Illinois but have one set at our son's place in Oregon. That's a long way to ship. I know that Mark (thundersnow70) has a set available in SD, and Josh Madsen has some in SLC. Also a long way to ship. I think Joe Dunn's set (harleymsn) is closest of the ones I know of. Good luck, and if you need other specifics let me know. Stu

Still there
 

Are any of those 5x8" wheels still available?

Are they still available?
 

Are the 5 x 8" wheels still available? Needing a set for our '40 1-1/2 ton.

I have one set at my son's place in Oregon. Long way to ship to NC. Our member harleymsn (Joe) lives in TN and has had an ad for a set. You'd be ahead on shipping cost. I know of another set in SD, but that too is a long shipment. I see too there is a CA set available. If you need more info let me know. Stu

Great and thanks for the quick response. I'll try to check for some of the closer locations.

Stu do you have the set of rims in Oregon still. If so how much to ship to Eureka Montana or I am going to the swap meet in Spokane in July if your son is going I could pick them up from him there.

Yes, our son Michael has a set in Portland. They are without tires. I doubt he'd be intending to go to Spokane in July. The trucking company that we've used with good service is R&L Carriers. I called to get a shipping estimate to Eureka, MT, but wasn't able to on the weekend. Eureka is a little over 500 miles from Portland, so based on other sets I've shipped similar distance I'd guess the cost to be approximately $200. You save on cost if you ship depot to depot, and have an account established up front. They do ship COD. I'd suggest you call their toll free (800)543-5589 number to get a quote that fits your exact needs. The wheels weigh 45 lbs each, and with a 4 x 4 pallet six weigh right at 300 lbs. If you decide that's what you want to do please send me the "quote number", not the dollar amount, so that Michael can reference that when he drops the wheels off at their Portland depot. That number allows him to create the Bill of Lading. Hope that is helpful. Thx. Stu

Budd wheels
 

Ok Stu I will call tomorrow and see if they have a depot in spokane. It might be cheaper. These rims will fit my 51 F5 and replace the 20's on there now?

Sounds good. Let me know. Stu

Rims
 

Stu I called the shipping company that you gave me # for and they said it was $200 to ship from Portland to spokane with 1 day shipping. The quote is only good for 30 days. So I will have to phone and get another quote when it gets closer to July 11 when I go to spokane from Calgary up here in Canada. How do you want me to pay you for the rims. I can send you some kind of certified check from my bank in US dollars. I will make sure it gets there in time so you can cash it to verify that it is good. And I guess I can try and pay the shipping with my credit card. The only thing that the shipping company needed was a zip code from Portland where your son will be shipping them from but we can figure that out when it gets closer. Doug

Doug - I neglected to answer part of your question. The 19.5s will fit your F-5, and I'd suggest that you mount 8R19.5" tires rather than the metric sized 225/70R19.5s. The metrics are low profile which you don't want or need.

You will be buying these from my son Michael, not me. So I'd suggest you email me direct to stu_sandymcmillan at sbcglobal dot net so I can give you Michael's address, etc. Thx. Stu

Hi Stu,
Do you have any of these rims still for sale? I have a 54 f500 that I need to replace the widowmackers. Please LMK thanks, Todd. Tvpinballs@gmail.com

I see you are in Illinois, looks like up in the Dixon area am I right? I don't have a full set here in the Springfield area. I only have three that have nice tires. Our son also has a partial set with nice 8R19.5s in Oregon. We'll be going out there in August and will bring back what he has. He also has a full set that has nearly new 225/70 tires. If you want to avoid shipping cost by picking them up, and can wait a while, I should be able to help toward the end of the summer. If you want the set with 225/70s Michael could ship them right away, but you'd have more shipping expense. I don't know of guys with other available sets right now to refer you to. I'll email you also to go through all this. Stu
